Can a simple fisher lass rise above adversity to realise her ambitions? 
Buckthorne Scotland, 1873 
All alone, following her mother death, seventeen-year-old Eden Murray returns to her deceased father’s fishing village in search if her roots and a future. 
Eden has worked in the fishing industry since the age of twelve and is soon employed by local businesswoman Euphemia Ross. Her Uncle Caleb provides her a home out of a sense of duty when Eden is subjected to the unwanted advances of her cousin, John. 
Much to Euphemia’s annoyance, Eden and her son Lewis Ross strike up a friendship. But Euphemia has grander plans for her son and is hostile towards Eden in preventing them ever having a future together. 
Eden sets her own ambitions higher than being a simple fisher lass but soon learns a terrible secret and is cast off by the family. 
But good fortune favours Eden when an unexpected inheritance changes the course of her life. Suddenly she has the means and determination to fight back against those who have wronged her. 
But can a hastily made marriage vow to the wrong man and her continued longing for Lewis Ross threaten the business she is building?
